Vampires are “Hot” right now. First, HBO’s “True Blood,” and now the movie “Twilight”, based on the popular book. Here’s the trailer.
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=44287812So a teenage girl in love with a dreamy vampire? Haven’t we seen this before?
It was called “Buffy The Vampire Slayer.” Need more proof?
Here’s the poster for Twilight:
And here’s a promo image from Buffy.
Nuff said.
The main difference seems to be that this movie trades humor for flying, and a powerful female lead for a girl that magnetically attracts Chevy Astrovans
WB fans might also recognize the bad guy, since he’s been on The OC and Jack & Bobby. In this movie, he plays a vampire with the terrifying name “James.”
One thing that neither the movie nor Buffy ever addresses is how crappy it must when you’re a teenage vampire. You never get older, and therefore your car insurance premiums never go down. NEVER.

I think that was the pain over car insurance was the subtext in Buffy with Angel’s constant brooding.
